Feirense form and stats

When playing at home in the Segunda Liga, Feirense have managed 7 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 14 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Feirense.

In their previous game, the manager R. da Silva Ferreira led his Feirense to a defeat in the Segunda Liga match away at Benfica II. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio Marcolino de Castro. Before that, Feirense drew at home versus Cova Piedade.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Feirense matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, two draws and two defeats (from eight games).

The Feirense fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Feirense's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times.

Varzim form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in Segunda Liga, are W4-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Segunda Liga.

Two away games in a row for Varzim, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Cova Piedade in the Segunda Liga. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Benfica II.

Late heartbreak for Varzim in the Cova Piedade match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Varzim playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Varzim have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Varzim - Feirense 0-2. Feirense-Varzim H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Feirense four wins, Varzim five wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
